Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to chip electronic components used in various electronic apparatuses, and chip resistors. Particularly, the present invention relates to very small-sized chip electronic components. BACKGROUND ART
[0002] Recently, demand for miniaturization or dimensional reduction of electronic apparatuses has increased. As a result, very small-sized chip electronic components are increasingly employed as electronic components. Particularly, very small-sized chip electronic components which are as small as 0.6 mm in length×0.3 mm in width×0.25 mm in thickness are manufactured in recent years.
[0003] A conventional chip electronic component is described below using a chip resistor as an example.
[0004] FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the structure of a conventional chip resistor. FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the chip resistor.
[0005] In FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, a pair of surface electrode layers 2 are formed at both ends of the surface of a substra...
